The Peabody Developmental Motor Test-2 is a developmental norm-referenced assessment tool for a variety of functional and educational uses, including child assessment, evaluation, student academic placement, Individual Educational Plans (IEP’s), Individual Family Service Plans (IFSP’s), instructional planning, and to determine eligibility for early intervention and pre-school programs. Our on-line course will assist you and help ‘fast-track’ your learning curve, so that you will more easily learn about this valuable instrument and how best to apply it to the children under your care. Similar to a Monarch or Cliff notes-type review, our online course and certification provides the essential information in a condensed and more easily digestible format. This course is a review and training module for the Peabody Developmental Motor Test 2. It meets annual State Early Intervention requirements for continuing education hours in assessment and evaluation.

The Peabody-2 makes it easy for educators to assess, over the course of 30 minutes to 1 hour, the gross and fine motor skills of infants, toddlers, and children up to 5 years of age. In addition, the Peabody II helps:

Evaluate and assess delays, disabilities, giftedness and other exceptionalities

Determine present level of performance

Write IFSP’s & IEP’s and monitor progress

Yields standard scores, percentile ranks, and age equivalents

Support alternate assessment needs

Prior to ordering this course, be sure to have a complete copy of the Peabody, with all testing materials.

The Peabody Developmental Motor Test-2 Primer in Early Intervention and Pre-School

Course Outcomes:

Course intent: To provide occupational & physical therapists with a focused understanding of the Peabody assessment instrument that both fast-tracks their ability to process and assimilate their understanding of this imperative fine and gross motor evaluatory tool, while testing their understanding prior to its application in the clinical setting.

Relevance to physical & occupational therapy: Occupational and physical therapists in the early intervention setting are on the front line of treating children adaptive, fine or gross motor dynsfunction, and having a norm-referenced evaluation instrument is critical to any initial evaluation, and serves as a baseline for improvement in all other subsequent evaluations to document progress. Applicable in the visiting the home in the early intervention setting, facility based setting, or pre-school settings, this short and helpful course will assist the occupational therapist and COTA to navigate through the maze of material offered with the classical edition of the course.

Outcomes:

Provider will be able to: identify fine motor deficits for both the clinical and educational settings so as to set future goals and outcomes for the child in the early intervention and pre-school setting

Provider will be able to: Identify adaptive and gross motor dysfunction so as to determine short and long term goals for both individual family service plans (IFSP’s) in the early intervention setting, and individual educational plans within the pre-school setting

Provider will be able to: Identify, evaluate and assess delays, disabilities, or other exceptionalities

Provider will be able to: Identify level of performance in fine and gross motor domains

Provider will be able to: Identify standard scores, percentile rankings, and age equivalent mathematical data to accurately document level of dysfunction, and improvement over time

Provider will be able to: Utilize this norm-referenced assessment instrument to identify indices that can assist in recommended academic placement, instructional planning, and both initial and ongoing eligibility

Prerequisites: a minimum of 3-5 years experience in the field is highly recommended.
